Every condo on the Regina MLS® — apartment suites, townhouses and bare-land condos from every brokerage in the city, refreshed every two hours.
Condos are Regina's most accessible rental investment — lower entry prices than houses, no exterior maintenance eating your weekends, and steady tenant demand near downtown, the University of Regina, and the hospitals. But the investment case lives or dies on one line the listing doesn't advertise: the condo fee inside your monthly math. Rent minus mortgage, taxes, insurance, and the fee — with a vacancy allowance and something set aside for repairs — is the real return, and a low purchase price with a heavy fee is often worse than a higher price with a lean, well-run corporation behind it. That's the arithmetic Pino runs with clients before a viewing is ever booked, and it's why the corporation's fee history and reserve fund trajectory matter as much to an investor as the tenant-facing finishes.
The bylaws get the same scrutiny: rental permissions come first — some corporations restrict or condition renting units out, and finding that out after possession is an expensive way to learn. Confirming what the corporation allows is step one of every investor file.
The same math serves buyers who'll live in the unit. Condos remain the lowest-priced path into Regina ownership, and comparing a suite's all-in monthly cost against rent for the same building answers "should I keep renting?" with numbers instead of opinions. And because Pino works foreclosures and bank sales regularly, he can also walk you through the condos that surface there — where the unit sells as-is, seller disclosures don't exist, the fee status and any pending special assessments need verifying through the corporation's certificate, and court timelines replace normal negotiation. The discounts can be real; they're only worth taking with the diligence done. Weighing a condo against a starter house? Run both searches side by side, starting with Regina houses.
Run the numbers first
Whether it's your first suite, a rental unit, or a bank-sale opportunity, Pino's process starts the same way: realistic rents or carrying costs, the fee in the math, the bylaws checked, and the corporation's paperwork verified before conditions come off.

They can be — the entry price is low and tenant demand near downtown, the university, and the hospitals is steady. The deciding factor is the monthly math with the condo fee included: a unit that cash-flows after mortgage, taxes, insurance, fees, and a vacancy allowance is an investment; one that doesn't is a hope. Pino runs that calculation with you before anything else.
Start with the bylaws — confirm the corporation permits rentals and on what conditions. Then the corporation's health: fee history, reserve fund, and any repairs coming that could raise fees and erase your margin. Finally the unit itself: durable finishes and a layout tenants actually want beat cosmetic upgrades every time.
The unit typically sells as-is with no seller disclosures, so the inspection and the corporation's certificate carry the whole diligence load — including verifying the unit's fee status and any pending special assessments. Court-ordered sales also run on the court's timeline and process rather than a normal negotiation. Priced right, they're opportunities; unexamined, they're traps.
It's a budget and lifestyle call, not a right answer. A condo gets you in at a lower price with predictable monthly costs and no exterior upkeep; a house costs more up front, puts maintenance on you, and typically gives you more control and land. Compare the true all-in monthly cost of each against your rent — the numbers usually make the decision obvious.
